Milton Keynes Dons form and stats

5 victories, 7 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Milton Keynes Dons have to build on here at Stadium mk in the League One. Milton has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager R. Martin and the players.

Milton Keynes Dons haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 225 minutes ago. W. O'Hora scored that one.

Milton's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Blackpool (placed 11th). Prior to that, an away loss at Wigan Athletic.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Milton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Milton as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Plymouth Argyle are visiting.
